Ursuline Ktiiis in New Orleans, La., where she mar-
ried, in 1749, Rene Angnste Chouteau, a native of

youth and engaged in business, and at the time of
his death was possessed of considerable means.

2. Auguste Chouteau, married Marie Therese

Auguste Chouteau. 2. Born in New Orleans,
Sept. 17, 1750. As a youth of 14, in charge of the
first party of colonists, landed Feb. 15, 176-i, on the
site of the present city of St. Louis. He superin-
tended the erection of the first house built, and em-
ployed the Indian women and children in digging out
the cellar and carrying the earth away in their
blankets.

He was chief clerk of Maxent, Laclede & Co., and
represented the interest of Mr. Laclede in the new
settlement. In the words of Mr. Laclede to Col.
Chouteau, " You will proceed to the site on the left
bank of the river, where we blazed the trees, and
erect a house to store the tools and shelter the men.

I give you two men, on whom you can depend, to aid
you, and I will join you before long." Upon the
death of Mr. Laclede in 1768, Col. Chouteau settled
up his estate, and from this time entered into busi-
ness on his own account. He was then a man of 38,

itants of this upper country, at the head of large
business interests, was acquiring property, prominent

bined soon made him most prominent in the place,

considered by his contemporaries the founder of the
place.

ment : In 1801, presiding justice of the court of Oyer
and Terminer ; 1S08, appointed colonel of the first
regiment of militia ; 1809, president of the St. Louis
board of justices, and commissioner of the U. S. in

Indians in the vicinity. In 1807, he opened a bank-
ing and brokerage house, the first in the city. In
1806, was selected chairman at a meeting of the citi-
zens to ingraft resolutions relating to the "dastardly
attack on the U. S. ship of war Chesapeake by the

banking house.

Kaskaskia to study law in the office of Judge Pope.
My education is very limited, but with hard study I
may overcome it ; I am determined to try and my
intention is to return to my native State to practice
law if I can qualify myself, and while doing so to
become U.S. Senator from my native State, and to
work for this until I am sixty years of age. I will
pray to God to give me the resolution to persevere
